Attaching RODI to PEX plumbing

[mike31154]

Oh my, that mess can't have been done by a plumber?!?! What ^ Gary said. I'm kind of glad my old place is still full of copper.

That mess would drive me crazy. I'm having a hard time even looking at it. Your plan to tee off where you indicated will work just fine, but I would redo the whole thing, lol. Remember to turn off the water supply, open the highest and lowest faucets in the house and a 5 gal pail ready for when you cut the pex.

It's pretty messy down there. I want to get a nice manifold with valves in there too. I also need to figure out where the right line goes. I noticed in the ceiling that is Ts off in 3 directions. No clue where the other two go.

All I wanted was to hook up my RODI to a copper cold line and be done with it. Le sigh.

It looks like that because few years back most cities hired a bunch of half ass plumbers to install meters they were paid per meter so they did them as fast and crappy as possible you can see where the pipe went straight together prior to meter.

Since my roommate has no clue whats going on, I have to draw pictures/make instructions for the plumber who will be coming while I am at work.

This is the plan.... Let me know if I'm crazy.

Option 1


Option 2

If you are going to have a plumber install a T, I would get him to fix that mess.
I go along with everyone else that said they could not stand looking at the mess. Never mind KNOWING its there.
You probably have to pay 4 hr min call out anyway.

option 2 (not being a plumber)

I don't know who did it. House is 10 years old, just bought it, and the home inspector never said anything about it. I wasn't happy about it when I saw it. The more white piece of PEX on the far left is pushing it down. I tried lifting it a bit to see how much slack there was, and there wasn't a whole lot. There would be a whole lot of messing around with cutting the pex and redoing it and putting proper brackets on it.

If I can't do much myself I may have to call in a plumber =[
